Things are going absolutely great. I am so tired but really, why wouldn't I be? I didn't get in until last night at 11 pm. It was strange walking through the streets of London completely alone. Slightly scary but nothing really happened. I got to my room, took a shower and just went to bed.
This morning things have gone well. I have noticed that if I stop moving for too long I literally fall asleep. We have met a lot of people and everyone has been so nice. We had a brief tour of the globe this morning and then came to the other education building to have a workshop.
Our workshop was all about movement and taught by one of the most interesting people I have ever encountered. She was a hoot. We worked with certain cross movement exercises. It was a lot of fun. Apparently being in band for so long was really helpful because I was able to stay on the beat really well. One of the things that we learned that was pretty interesting was about right and left ears. When speaking emotions you need to speak into the left ear, whereas when speaking about directions you need to speak into the right year...bizarre.
We also talked a lot about the Alexander Method which is all about knowing what your body is doing at all times. It also concerns how other people perceive us so that we can give a specific feelings and impressions. Very interesting. I am sure that some of the others in the group can probably explain more.
Once movement was over we had a break, which is what we are doing now. I had a very interesting sandwich. I doubt I will have it again but that is ok.
We have a couple more workshops today. I am so excited to be here and having so much fun. YAY!
"I take from the Heavens all that I need and I bring it inside me. I take from the Earth all that I need and I bring it inside me. And when I have it inside me, whoosh, I give it away." This was a prayer that we used at the end of our workshop. It was a great way to recognize that we take our creativity from elsewhere.
